A parcel of “ISIS” documents acquired by US Special Operations in Syria sheds light on the group’s internal structure and provides insight into how a militant group grew and seized large areas of Syria and Iraq, media reported.According to information in the documents, “ISIS” appears to be an organization with a strong hierarchical bureaucracy and specific legal codes written in the form of Muslim religious rulings, called “fatwas”, US officials state, following a review of some of the papers, as reported by Reuters.“This really kind of brings it out. The level of bureaucratization, organization, the diwans, the committees,” Brett McGurk, President Barack Obama’s special envoy for the anti-“ISIS” coalition, told Reuters.The radical organization established a set of so-called “diwans,” the equivalent of ministries in legitimate states, each of which deals with a particular sector of the group’s revenue.For instance, there is a “diwan” handling “war spoils,” such as slaves, or a “diwan” specialized in the exploitation of natural resources, including oil.Aymenn al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum think tank, said that “ISIS” successfully created a bureaucratic machine that is the image of a legitimate state.Most “ISIS” laws are “fatwas” that regulate all sides of the group’s activities, including the treatment of slaves, having children and rape of people captured by Takfiri militants.For instance, a brochure signed, “From Creator’s Rulings on Capturing Prisoners and Enslavement,” sanctions human organ harvesting, offering evidence that “ISIS” may be involved in the trade of body parts.In other revelation, Reuters reported, “ISIS” intends to implement “fatwas” not only in seized parts of Iraq and Syria, but also in those self-proclaimed provinces allied in Africa, the Sinai and South Asia.US experts said that documents point to weak spots in “ISIS” culture that will help defeat the extremists. For instance, papers showed that the group, in a mirror of all bureaucracies, is plagued by internal rivalries.Source: Al Ahed News
